Canary Deployment with Kubernetes

Sat, 01 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000

A hands-on repository demonstrating canary deployments on Kubernetes using Helm, with full observability via Prometheus and Grafana.

Overview

This project models a realistic release workflow where two versions of an application run side by side. Traffic is split 80:20 during rollout so you can validate a new version before promoting it fully.

Key Features

Canary deployment model — gradual traffic shift between v1 and v2
Helm charts — repeatable, versioned Kubernetes deployments
Prometheus — collects application and cluster metrics
Grafana — dashboards for visualizing rollout health and performance

What I Learned

Building this repo reinforced practical patterns for safe releases: metric-driven rollouts, observable deployments, and infrastructure-as-code with Helm.

Email-Verified Voting App

Wed, 10 May 2023 00:00:00 +0000

A secure online polling application where votes are tied to verified email addresses.

Users can participate in polls only after verifying their email. Each email address may vote once per poll, and polls automatically close after their expiry date.

Key Features

Email verification — prevents anonymous or duplicate voting
Poll management — create polls with configurable expiry dates
Vote integrity — database constraints enforce one vote per email per poll
Modern UI — React frontend with Django REST API backend

Security Considerations

Verified email tokens with expiration
Server-side validation of vote eligibility
Poll closure enforced at the API layer

Linktree Clone

Sun, 20 Nov 2022 00:00:00 +0000

A Linktree-style application built with Ruby on Rails where users create profiles and share a single link to all their important URLs.

Overview

Users sign up, add links to their profile, and share one clean URL that displays their entire link collection — ideal for social media bios and personal branding.

Key Features

Profile management — add, edit, and reorder links
Public share URL — one link for all your destinations
Rails conventions — RESTful resources, ActiveRecord, and server-rendered views

What I Learned

This project was a great exercise in Rails fundamentals: authentication, CRUD operations, and designing a simple but useful user-facing product.
